The motion characteristics of microbubble in the water or solution have important influence to crystallization process. In the paper, the movement equation of single bubble was modeled based on force equilibrium, the mechanics factors influence on the single bubble motion were discussed, and the velocity of microbubble was analysed with the different bubble sizes. The results show that the velocity of microbubble in static water is increasing with time increasing, the influence of virtual mass force and Basset force caused by the acceleration on the velocity of microbubble must be considered in the initial stage of microbubble motion. In the processes of microbubble motion, compared with constant microbubble radius the variation laws of velocity fluctuations mean with microbubble radius changing are uniform.
The new fluidization method of liquid-liquid circulating fluidized bed proposed for ice slurry production was investigated experimentally. Multiple small water-drops were formed in another immiscible liquid coolant by a single-nozzle atomizer and frozen in the fluidized bed by direct contact heat transfer. Experiments were conducted to research the dynamic behaviors of jet and drops formation in the ice making system by the high resolution digital camera and image processing. The photos of jet development, breakup and drop formation were obtained. The affects of the shape of jet breakup, jet length and its surface fluctuation on drops size were revealed. The range of drop sizes and the sloping extent have always increased with the jet rate increasing. And varying jet shape directly results in the jet breakup into droplets under different time and test conditions, so the variation laws of the jet shape contribute most to the quality of the liquid drop, such as drop size distribution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
